Gaining a thorough understanding of the reactions on electrode surfaces lithium batteries is critical for designing new materials suitable high-power, long-life operation. A technique directly observing surface structural changes has been developed that employs an epitaxial LiMn(2)O(4) thin-film model and X-ray diffraction (SXRD). Epitaxial thin films with restricted lattice planes (111) (110) are grown SrTiO(3) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. In situ SXRD studies have revealed...
No design rules have yet been established for producing solid electrolytes with a lithium-ion conductivity high enough to replace liquid and expand the performance battery configuration limits of current lithium ion batteries. Taking advantage properties high-entropy materials, we designed highly ion-conductive electrolyte by increasing compositional complexity known superionic conductor eliminate migration barriers while maintaining structural framework conduction.
